Estudiantes La Plata earned a solid 2-0 away win at Club Atlético Newell's Old Boys in the Argentine Division 1 on February 26, 2026. The visitors were in control for large periods, scoring a goal in each half to secure a comfortable victory. Newell's Old Boys, playing at home, struggled to create meaningful chances against a well-organized Estudiantes defense. The first goal came from a defensive error, which Estudiantes punished, and the second was a clinical finish on the counter-attack late in the game. This result strengthens Estudiantes La Plata's standing as a top-half team, while it adds to a disappointing run of form for Newell's Old Boys.
